THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 8 ADVISORY BUDGET " COMMISSION ~ = ~~~ 4—i - " -^=^L— yjHncoMiiSf vi&NES REPORTER 1 Some of the Governor’s firmest supporters were afraid he would not go all out in promotion of party harmony at the recent YDC convention in Asheville. But even his severest critics were enthu siastic about his introduction of Willis Smith and his call for a united Democratic party in the November general election. Reports from those attending the convention are that Kerr Scott was by far the most enthu siastic booster of party harmony on the convention program. It seems to this corner that no other Democrat can do otherwise. Registration as a Democrat, and voting as a Democrat in the pri mary commits the voter to abide by the majority decision. Whether he likes the decision or not is beside the point, if he is a be- i liever in the little “d” democratic j way of doing things. You hear a lot of talk over the j State by disgruntled Democrats. Some are talking of staying away from the polls. Some are talking of voting for the Republican can didate. Some are talking of writ ing in defeated Frank Graham’s name on the ballot. I feel sure that Frank Graham would be the first to decry the latter. The best way for North Caro lina Democrats to show that they are believers in democracy is to cast a unanimous vote for their party’s candidate November 7. RUTH CURRENT Farm Home Hints RUG REPAIR—Want to save money underfoot? A good way to do it is to mend rugs and carpets at the first sign of wear, say home economists. Mending a rug often is a tedious and time-taking job, but it pays good returns, especially when prices of new rugs are up. To make the job easier, plan for it in ad-> vance, first by reading up on best methods, then by assembling ma terials and utensils needed. Before beginning repairs, clean the rug well by vacuum or sweep ing on both sides. If the rug is washable, tub it gently so that washing will not enlarge the dam They may not like their party’s party’s candidate. They may not approve of campaign methods in the primary. But they implied a | willingness to abide by the ma j jority’s wishes when they voted in the primary. If they aren’t willing to abide by that majority decision, no mat ter how distasteful, they ought to get out of the Democratic party. But they should remember that majority rule—regardless of how or why the decision was reached— is a fundamental precept of de mocracy. If you don’t like w’hat the party has done, the only way to change it is to stay in the party and fight out your battles. After all, there will be other primaries. Scout Board of Review To Meet Tonight at 8 The Board of Review will meet in the Scout Hut following the meeting of the Boy Scouts to night, Scoutmaster Gordon Tem ple announced yesterday. The board will question members of the troop who have been recom mended by the Scoutmaster for promotion and other awards. The troop meeting will be held at 7:30 tonight, immediately pre ceding the Board of Review. Members of the Board of Review who will meet with the Scouts are Willie B. Hopkins, R. Vance Brown, and Barrie Davis. aged spot. Never beat or shake rugs or carpets, especially those needing mending, because such rough treatment rips hems and frays edges still more. Choose a bright day for the job for ease on the eyes. If the rug is too heavy to lift onto a table, sit on a low stool with a cushion with the back against the wall to relieve strain. You may slip a small box under a heavy rug to raise it from the floor and make it easier to get at the damaged place. Anyone who is sensitive to dust should wear a mask over nose or mouth. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, October 3,195 b Zebulon Saddened By Recent Death Os Local Leader Zebulon and community were saddened early Sunday morning at the news that Millard Wallace Chamblee had died at Rex Hos pital after an illness of several months.

First Bales of Cotton Are Ginned in Zebulon In spite of an extremely short cotton crop this year, both local 1 ,gins began ginning Wednesday of; last week. The Wakelon Gin,' managed by Dave Finch, ginned a ! bale for Elmer D. Finch Wednes- ; ' day morning. A 497-pound bale was ginned for Robert Perry of Route 2, by the Zebulon Gin, managed by J.

Damage by the boll weevil has cut the 1950 cotton crop so much that ginners have hesitated to es timate the damage, although it runs up to 60 percent in some fields. ; Super-Highway Under Construction in N.

Thn ; _ L M <- TgiT TUmT V Record Publisher Joins Rotary Club Jack Potter, publisher of the Zebulon Record and newest mem ber of the Zebulon Rotary Club, was presented his Rotary pin by Ralph Talton last Friday night at the regular meeting of the group in the Woman’s Club house. Ralph explained the ideals of Rotary, in cluding the four points of service: club, vocational, community, and international.

Long-Pronged 801 l Weevil Found Here While driving home from Pilot the other day, Willie Bullock, con genial salesman at the Western Auto Store in Zebulon, saw a boll W T eevil land on the windshield of ; his car. He stopped, pulled the 1 1 weevil off, and noted it had the i longest snout he had ever seen on < such an insect. When he brought it into the < Record office yesterday afternoon, i the prong on the weevil’s front 1 end measured about three-eighths of an inch long. “No wonder these things killed so much cotton this c year,” Bullock commented. Wakelon Bulldogs Begin Final Week Os Heavy Work for Wendell Game The Wakelon Bulldogs, poised and confident after two lop-sided victories in early season competi tion, settled down to their last week of practice before meeting the Wendell White Rams Friday night at 8:00 on the Wakelon grid iron. Unscored-on in their initial starts, the Bulldogs took Cathedral Latin of Raleigh in stride, 19-0, and romped over Nashville last Friday night, 31-0. The play of Jimmy Medlin, who ran from the half-back position in his first game of his career, prov ed an eye-opener to the Wakelon fans. After Wakelon had slumped following two quick touchdowns early in the first period, Medlin broke through tackle in the th'rd quarter, shook off two tacklers, and sprinted 41 yards to the goal line.

Big George Massey, star Wake lon lineman, suffered a badly cut lip early in the first quarter and had to leave the game. Several stitches were required to close the gash, but he may be able to return to the lineup for the game this Friday night. Except for the middle two quar ters of the game, the entire Wake lon team played well. In the back field Keith Temple and the Kit chings brothers teamed up with Medlin, K. D. Lloyd, and Herbert Privette, and the play of center Warren Greene, tackle Pete Combs, and End Reuben McSwain shown in the line.
